Firestyle Magazine: Issue 6 - Winter 2016

Education:
With a key focus on fire prevention, education becomes highly significant. Consequently IET has played an active
role in the education within primary schools, delivering fire safety key messages, as well as advising future architects
within University of Engineering and Technology Lahore regarding the construction of safe buildings.
Assistance:
The IET played a role in the paramedic motorbike launched in Punjab
this year. Fundraising from England and Scotland allowed 10 paramedic
motorbikes to be donated. The motorbikes were manufactured in Punjab
to facilitate and accommodate their own unique needs. The project
was highly successful, and the Punjab government ordered 900 extra
paramedic bikes which created 3,000 jobs!
Local expertise is used in a manner in which the use of resources is optimised. When overhauling the current fire
appliances, rather than having to purchase new appliances, existing appliances were modified within the Punjab
factories, which enabled the water pumping system to be reformed.
